When the Russian Cultural Center Our Texas says Imperial, it means it. Prince and Princess Piotr Galitzine host an evening at the residence of Terry and Dr. Josef Agris, whose home was designed after Tara, the southern plantation in Gone with the Wind.  The event will feature a musical performance by Houston Grand Opera studio soprano Ulyana Alexyuk.

This year's Hans Graf Leadership Award will be presented to Mark Zaltsberg, a passionate lover of opera music and a professional lecturer who was also a translator for visiting Russian singers at HGO.

Authentic Russian cuisine will be catered by chef Vladimir Smirnov, winner of prestigious awards at various culinary competitions.

Attire: Black tie or cocktail.
